"Oh my god" was said aloud when I looked at this thread title. Never met him, but what a fixture he was here. Full of info and good cheer. Those pictures gave me goose bumps as he looked like someone who is surely a role model to many. Just very very sad to hear this. Thinking about his wonderful friends and family today......godspeed brother.

Gutted... read the news first on David P's facebook page a few minutes ago... dumbfounded.

Angelo and I had some correspondance (both in here an off the ADVRider site)... a meeting in the real world was always on the cards... at some rally or event sometime in the future. But to date I never had the opportunity or privelige to shake the mans hand; mores the pity.

As everyone here knows (the F5 crowd in any case) a much more passionate and dedicated rally enthusiast, you'd never find. He lived, ate and breathed rally... and is a big part of the groundswell of enthusiam that the sport has enjoyed in his part of the world these last few years.

RIP Brodo... ride on mate, I (along with many here no doubt) will bear a black F5 armband this coming january... in your honour. It won't be the same without you, out there on another part of the globe spanning F5 interweb time/space continium... it sure as heck, always was fun to know that you were there though. You will be fondly remembered by many of us Angelo.

R.I.P sad a name, a tag, discussions, contributions, but lest not forget there is always someone behind the tag, someone with friends and loved ones. My heart goes out to them. i didn't know Angelo other than just from his posts, common themes.

Ride with the angels, you will be missed , by us here and by those who loved and cared for you.
